Kendrick Lamar Europe Tour 2027

Kendrick Lamar has not announced any concerts in continental Europe or Ireland for 2027. As of 6 October 2026 there is no tour, no festival booking and no one-off show on the calendar, and no new album has been announced to follow GNX, which he released by surprise on 22 November 2024.

His most recent European visit was also his biggest. In July and August 2025 the Grand National Tour, his co-headlining stadium tour with SZA, played the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, two nights at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, two nights at Paris La Défense Arena, Lisbon, Barcelona, Rome, Warsaw and Stockholm. It became the highest-grossing co-headlining tour of all time.

This page explains what is and is not known about Kendrick Lamar's plans for 2027 and traces his concerts in continental Europe and Ireland, from small club rooms in Paris and Amsterdam in 2011 and 2012 to the stadiums of 2025.

Kendrick Lamar Europe Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Kendrick Lamar concerts in Europe in 2027. No dates, cities, venues, festival slots or sale dates have been published. Any list of 2027 European dates circulating now should be treated as speculation.

The Grand National Tour ran from 19 April to 11 December 2025 over 47 shows, with an estimated $390.7 million in revenue and more than two million tickets sold, the biggest and highest-earning tour by a rapper on record. Its European leg lasted from 2 July to 9 August 2025 and mixed continental stadiums with British ones. No 2026 extension was added, and he has not toured since.

His recent activity has been on record rather than on stage: in February 2026 he appeared on Baby Keem's album Casino, on the track 'Good Flirts'. A new studio project, a tour or festival headline sets for 2027 have not been announced.

History suggests that Europe comes quickly once a new cycle starts. The Damn Tour reached Dublin in February 2018, the Big Steppers Tour reached Amsterdam in October 2022, and the Grand National Tour arrived in Cologne two and a half months after its opening night. If 2027 dates are announced, they will appear on this page.

Kendrick Lamar Europe Tour 2027: career and records

Kendrick Lamar Duckworth was born on 17 June 1987 in Compton, California. He released mixtapes as K.Dot as a teenager, signed with Top Dawg Entertainment in 2005 and co-founded the group Black Hippy. His debut album Section.80 (2011) led to a joint deal with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012) made him a star and became the longest-charting hip-hop studio album on the Billboard 200. To Pimp a Butterfly (2015), with 'Alright' and 'King Kunta', went to No. 1 in the UK and is regularly ranked among the best albums of its decade. Damn (2017), with 'Humble', won him the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first awarded to a musician outside classical music and jazz.

He curated Black Panther: The Album (2018), whose 'All the Stars' was nominated for an Academy Award, and closed his time with Top Dawg and Aftermath with Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022). In 2024 his feud with Drake produced 'Not Like Us', and GNX, released on 22 November 2024, gave him the number-one singles 'Squabble Up' and 'Luther'.

On 9 February 2025 he headlined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, the most watched in history with 133.5 million viewers, which won him a Primetime Emmy Award. His honours include 27 Grammy Awards, the most for any rapper, a Brit Award, five American Music Awards and a record 37 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Germany was the opening market of the 2025 European leg: the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on 2 July, then two nights at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on 4 and 5 July 2025, the only stadium in continental Europe to host him twice on that tour.
